@zaidradef
I deliver safe, patient-centred independent prescribing across primary care conditions.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
At Allied Pharmacy, I independently assess patients and prescribe evidence-based treatments for acute and long-term conditions. I deliver structured, patient-centred consultations with shared decision-making, accurate records, and robust prescribing governance.
I manage weight-loss consultations, including suitability assessments and prescribing of tirzepatide and semaglutide. I also assess common infections, gout, period delay, erectile dysfunction, and conditions covered by the Wales Common Ailments Service.
Across LloydsPharmacy stores in Swansea, Port Talbot, Milford Haven, and Pembroke Dock, I oversaw dispensing and professional services, mentored pharmacy teams, and conducted audits covering records, standards, near misses, and safer care.
I also developed PharmZone, a prescribing and dispensing management system informed by practical pharmacy operations. The project combined systems analysis, workflow optimisation, database management, process mapping, and user-focused software development.
